max polys

[mitchino]

What's the maximum amount of polys octane can render in a c4d scene? I'm getting render failure - but I do have 37 million polys!

Have managed to get the scene down to 9.5 million polys by using render instances, and Octane is now coping.

Still interested though - is there a maximum number?

Hi,
please note that ~42 million polys are equals to ~8.5GB of VRAM.
In v4 you can use Out-of-core option to move also geometry (not only textures like in v3) to system RAM, and bypass the issue.
